STANDING OUR GROUND
MichaelConnelly.Jigsy.com
It’s time for a reality
check. The election is over and according to the
results the majority of the people residing in this
country voted to abolish our Republican form of
government and trash the Constitution. They voted
for virtually unlimited government, redistribution
of wealth through higher taxes, limits on individual
liberties, and out of control spending and debt.
They voted to end the free market economic system,
and place an unmanageable burden on their own
children and grandchildren so they can collect their
free stuff now.
The leftists in this
country now feel that they are in a position to do
what they have wanted to do for decades; impose
their elitist views on the population and take
control of how we live, what we do, what we think,
and what God we can worship. They are confident that
they can succeed in destroying our country and our
way of life for good because they have a President
in the White house that is committed to establishing
himself as a dictator. They also control the
schools, the universities, the mainstream media,
many of the courts, the United States Senate, and
most of the largest cities in the country.
The left believes that
this is their moment in history when they impose
their will on the American people, the time when we
all submit to their will and become compliant
subjects who will acknowledge their intellectual
superiority and march in lockstep to the beat of
their corrupt drummers. They truly believe this and
yet they are very frightened. They are frightened of
a document called the Constitution; most
specifically of the Bill of Rights and the 2nd
Amendment.
The elitists like Barack
Obama, Harry Reid, Diane Feinstein, Nancy Pelosi,
and their lackeys in academia, the news media, and
Hollywood are cowards. They are willing to lie,
cheat, and steal to get what they want, but they are
not willing to pick up a weapon and fight for what
they profess to believe, they will rely on others to
do that.
Yet, they know that in
order to be successful they must take an important
step and disarm the American people. They must
abolish the 2nd Amendment to the
Constitution and they must do it now. The effort has
already begun and it is an all out assault. Bills
are being introduced in the House and Senate to ban
so called assault weapons, certain magazines,
various types of ammunition, and certain handguns.
This is all supposed to be an effort to protect our
children from another Sandy Hook tragedy.
That is where the
reality check comes in. The left has always been
willing to exploit tragedy to get its way. All of
this proposed legislation is just window dressing to
lay the ground work for the ultimate goal of
outlawing the private ownership of all firearms in
the United States. Once that is accomplished, the
government will move to confiscate all of those in
private hands.
That is why the Obama
administration is purchasing millions of rounds of
ammunition for federal bureaucracies, and FEMA and
DHS are training thousands of people to engage in
urban warfare. Not urban warfare against foreign or
domestic terrorists, but against American citizens
who attempt to exercise the 2nd Amendment
rights that have been upheld by the U.S. Supreme
Court. In fact, the left is already calling for the
people who believe in gun rights to be declared
terrorists and arrested not only for supporting the
2nd Amendment, but also for exercising
our 1st Amendment rights.
This is not an obscure
conspiracy theory, but is happening now. It is for
real. I have people telling me that it will never
happen, because these bills will not pass Congress.
I agree that with an all out effort we can defeat
the legislation in the House of Representatives, but
Obama and the left plan to simply bypass Congress
and impose gun control by Executive order and by
signing the UN Small Arms treaty.
Therefore, our most
critical battles may be in the Courts. For over 38
years I have defended the 2nd Amendment
of the Constitution both in and out of the
courtrooms. As the new Executive Director of the
United States Justice Foundation (USJF) I will make
sure that the foundation is in the forefront of the
fight.
This is not just a
battle that we must win; this is the war that will
decide the fate of our nation. We cannot compromise
and we cannot surrender. The 2nd
Amendment was placed in the Constitution to ensure
that the American people would be able to defend
themselves against any future government that sought
to become a tyranny. That is what is happening now
and we must not give up our weapons.
A friend and fellow
veteran just forwarded a quote by the great Russian
writer and patriot Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn who
said this about the lack of resistance to the
communist takeover of his country:
"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking:
What would things have been like if every Security
operative, when he went out at night to make an
arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return
alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if,
during periods of mass arrests, as for example in
Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the
entire city, people had not simply sat there in
their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the
downstairs door and at every step on the staircase,
but had understood they had nothing left to lose and
had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush
of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers,
or whatever else at hand?...
The Organs would very quickly have suffered a
shortage of officers and transport and,
notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed
machine would have ground to a halt!
If......if......We didn't love freedom enough. And
even more----we had no awareness of the real
situation.......We purely and simply deserved
everything that happened afterward."
Enough said. Fight back now!
